Sleeping on the GO - Simple Solutions to Complex Problems


I am amazed at the growing number of passengers who doze off on the train and magically wake up seconds before the train reaches their destination. The last time I did this, I was around 15 and on a bus and .. well you know how this story ended - there was a lot of backtracking involved.

Anyway I felt a need to help fellow go passengers who possess this magic.
Humans are not really designed to sleep while seated, and as such one problem that has traumatized all GO-snoozers is how to keep a steady head while having a well deserved snooze on the way to work, or on the ride back home (and at work too).

I started looking for solutions, and as it turns out the Japanese have solved this (surprise!) using something as simple as a toilet plunger.

Research shows that the design not only keeps your head steady, it also keeps your mind out of the toilet while you sleep and dream...
